Gargamel Lucky Bag 2011 - Our Bag

Nate's fast fingers secured us our Gargamel Lucky Bag this year. They sold under a minute as I recall. Since we were going up North to visit his family for his birthday we opted for the pick up in-store option.

When people started getting their bags we were getting anxious about ours. Maybe we should have had it shipped. I was still recovering from being sick when we set off for up North.

When we got there it was already around 5 PM. Not a really a good time to venture into the city. So we headed straight to Nate's parents for some much needed rest.

When Nate and his brothers get together it's usually a night of gaming and movie watching. We saw Inception for the first time and we really enjoyed it. We were up until 4 AM. XD

The next day, we got up later than we intended. We got to the city around 3 PM. It was our first time visiting S7 in its new location. I definitely remember the area was not parking friendly. The new location seems the same size as the old one. Nate said he recalls that it might be the store front next to TRU. He was correct.

We got our stuff and since we waited so long we decided to open it when we got back to the house. It was family time. We walked around for a bit and headed off for dinner in Chinatown! We had a great dinner, great family news and we topped it off with some crepes.

We headed home to watch Inception again. LOL Actually we watched a whole bunch of movies. I got to play with an IPad, (I want one now), and we finally opened our bag.

Nate was pulling out figures we've seen before. We wanted the Crouching Hawaii Deathra, which we got. We were like OK we'll end up with either a Zag or a Deathra. Nate saved the big figure for last and when he pulled it out, we looked at it, looked at each other, looked at it again and went, "AHHHHH! OMG!" See below:

This was our bag this year. I've only seen another pull a Mibora this year and it was Daniel and he got an awesome clear reddish pink one.

We're very happy with our bag and hope that this good luck will last us the year. It's a great way to start it that's for sure.

Gargamel Lucky Bag 2011

Well it's that time of year again. This is for us one of the first major purchases for the year and heralds the beginning of building our SDCC 2011 war chest. Usually, if we are fortunate enough to score a lucky bag, after this purchase, we start hard saving for July.

The teaser pic for this year's LB has some obvious figures outlined here. I can identify the following:

Standard Deathra
Standard Zag
Randall the Bear
Tokoichi Seiju
KaToPe Angel Bird

SEEN @ SB 01/07/2011

Mini Bakoba
Mini Crouching Mibora
Mini Crouching Zag
MIni Crouching Deathra

However the middle part is a bit more muddled and here's where you start guessing. Obviously there's crouchers there, maybe a pocket and I am stretching here a bit but Nate agrees, a possible Killer right in between Randall and Tokoichi. The bottom half there's something there.

So far no pictures coming out of Japan, even though these bags sold there earlier. The anticipation is so high that you can cut it with a knife. I kind of enjoy this part although I don't know if I have the strength to stay away from spoiler threads.

Can't wait to see what these bags will hold! I just wish a Tetran or Beralgon somehow managed to get into this year's bag but that might be unlikely.

Oh, first post of the year! ^_____^
